"The American Dennis Severs captured a perfect recreation of what it would be like to live in the 17th century by turning this house in Spitafields into a "time capsule" of different historical styles that is now open to the public...including different smells for the different epochs!"

I love Bow because it's a quiet, green and peaceful area whilst being situated in Zone 2 with access to numerous tube / DLR / bus routes (including the night tube at Mile End station). I work in Canary Wharf and wanted somewhere with an easy commute yet also being well situated for weekends out in central London. My dad (who admittedly deplores London and city life in general) has even referred to my place as "a quiet, green oasis amongst the big smoke" - if that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is!

E3 is so friendly as when we first moved in, the neighbourhood welcomed us in and we settled in so easily it was like we never even moved. Plus you would never see such great community spirit. and it is a great place for kids to live as it is right to Victoria park. Also it is next to Roman road market for all you shopping lovers.

Bow is very well located for transport being close to mile end station for fast central line access to the west end and city. It is also on the district/Hammersmith lines from bow station allowing direct access to main railway stations. Locally, the Stratford Olympic park is just 10 minutes away by bus for swimming and badminton and great walks, kids playgrounds and Stratford Westfield shopping centre. For more upmarket entertainment Victoria park and the village are about 25 minutes walk with some brilliant village bars, restaurants and pubs. The park itself is great for running. The down side of the are is mile end road which is very busy for traffic and lots of poorly qualified drivers always driving along it. Great road access to Stansted airport which is about 30-40 minutes drive.
